Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1056: Rare Pig Belly
Hearing this, Wang Li asked Wang An with a puzzled look on his face:

"Fourth brother, what is pig litter and what is it used for?"

It can be seen that Wang Li really has no idea what pig litter is used for, and has never even heard of such a thing. He is not pretending.

In fact, it was not just Wang Li who didn't know, but most people of that era didn't know. Even in later generations, if it weren't for the various news media reports or people who were very concerned about this aspect, they actually didn't know what pig grit was.

Not only do they not know what pig gizzard is, they may not even know what the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, bezoar, dog gallstones, and horse gallstones, are.

After all, these things are extremely rare. Even in rural areas where there are many dogs, cows and horses, these things will not appear for several years, even decades.

Therefore, there have always been very few people who know these things.

Of course, although Wang An knew about pig litter and had a superficial understanding of its appearance and functions, he had never seen this thing before, including in his previous life.

After Wang Li asked, Wang An looked at Wang Li and thought for a long time before explaining:
"You don't know about pig sand, but do you know about bezoar and horse treasure?"

Wang Li shook his head subconsciously and said:

"I have heard of Bezoar. The supply and marketing cooperative buys this stuff. What is Ma Bao, Fourth Brother?"

Wang An had no interest in popularizing this knowledge, but the appearance of so much pig sand really made Wang An feel in a good mood.

So Wang An said:
"These things are all traditional Chinese medicines, and they are very valuable traditional Chinese medicines. However, these things are actually kidney stones from animals."

Just like that, Wang An told Wang Li a lot about the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the effects and identification methods of pig sand.

But when Wang An was explaining to Wang Li, a large group of dogs and wolves became dissatisfied and started barking at the two men.

I have to say, these two guys were really a bit too much. They only fed the dogs a few bites of meat. Some of the dogs didn't even get a single bite of meat. But these two guys, because they accidentally got the pig litter, started talking nonsense here.

This is because the dogs can’t speak, otherwise the barking and cursing of this group of dogs would be very unpleasant.

Wang An heard the dogs barking and noticed the unhappy looks they gave him, so he quickly said to Wang Li:

"Oh shit, let's talk about it later, the dogs will be angry soon."

As he spoke, Wang An hung the gallbladder filled with pig gizzard on a tree branch and continued to cut meat to feed the dog.

Wang Li also looked at the pig gallbladder on the branch with a happy face, then lowered his head and continued to work.

From Wang An’s previous words, Wang Li already knew that pig litter was very valuable, so Wang Li was naturally very happy.

After a while, when Wang An was concentrating on feeding the dog, he heard Wang Li say happily:

"Fourth brother, this pig's stomach is really good. There are so many boils in it, densely packed. It's worth at least thirty or twenty bucks."

Pig stomach is a medicinal material that can be sold for money. Its main function is to cure stomach problems. Of course, even for people who don’t have stomach problems, eating this thing is good for the stomach because it nourishes the stomach.

However, Wang An, Wang Li and Mu Xueli were not short of money, so they never sold any of the pig stomachs from the wild boars they killed. They took them all home and ate them.

Under normal circumstances, the supply and marketing cooperatives purchase these things based on size, at 1 to 2 yuan each.

But there is one exception, that is, the more "boils" there are on the pig's stomach, the more valuable the pig's stomach is. Boils are actually scars on the inner wall of the pig's stomach.

The reason why there are scars on the inner wall of the pig's stomach is that wild boars are omnivorous animals. Many things in the mountains, including poisonous plants, snakes, insects, etc., are their food.

These poisonous plants, snakes, insects, etc., after entering the wild boar's stomach, will corrode the pig's stomach and cause burns.

However, the pig's stomach is not afraid of these toxins and will quickly produce corresponding antibodies to fight the damage of these toxins to the wild boar itself.

After all, if the wild boar can't withstand these toxins, it will die.

Therefore, after these wounds heal, a small scar will be left, and people call this scar a "boil".

The more "boils" there are on the inner wall of the pig's stomach, the more poisonous things the wild boar has eaten.

What you need to know is that when a wild boar eats this poisonous thing for the first time, boils will be left on its stomach, but when the wild boar eats this thing for the second time, it will become immune to the toxin.

At the same time, the more boils there are in the pig's stomach, the more it proves that the wild boar was able to be immune to more toxins by relying on the pig's stomach when it was alive.

Therefore, it is obvious how powerful pig stomach is as it is immune to most toxins.

Of course, although people cannot detoxify themselves like wild boars after eating such pig stomachs, if they take it together with other medicinal herbs, it will definitely make the human stomach stronger.

As Wang Li was talking, he walked towards Wang An with a stinky pig stomach and said happily:

"Brother, look at this pig's stomach. It should be worth at least thirty or twenty bucks, right?"

Wang An subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that the inner wall of the pig's stomach was densely packed with boils, at least hundreds of them.

This kind of pig stomach was the first time Wang An had seen it. It was definitely a rare find among pig stomachs.

But I have to say that if someone with trypophobia sees such a pig's stomach, his hair will stand on end, his body will be instantly covered with goose bumps, and he will also feel anxious and worried.

Having harvested pig gizzards and now having a pig stomach, Wang An felt even better.

So after hearing Wang Li's question, Wang An also said with a smile on his face:

"Thirty or twenty? I won't sell it for thirty or twenty. It should be at least 100 yuan. If it's less than 100 yuan, just go and play with the lazy man. Anyway, this thing will be fine after it dries up, and it will be the same no matter how many years it is sold in a few years."

Having said that, Wang An had no intention of selling it at all, or rather, he would sell it for a mere 100 yuan, mainly because Wang An was not short of that 100 yuan.

This thing is just like chicken gizzard lining. After being air-dried, it is ground into powder and then boiled into soup to cure stomach problems. It can be said to be very simple to use.

Wang Li was a little surprised when he heard this:

"100 bucks? Oh shit, is this thing so valuable?"

Wang An said as he cut the meat:

"Then what are you thinking about? Such a big cannon egg is probably not much different from our age. How difficult would it be to make another pig stomach with so many boils? Not to mention anything else, even if you want to find such a big cannon egg again, it will be very difficult."
